Curious

Curiosity can be a prideful thing
As any cat, at night, could sing
Of the nine lives lost to sin
Curiosity draws you in
Deeper than any feline should
Far away from any good
And yet the devil sings again
And yet the pride of the cat holds reign

Wooded Evening

Nine tails under root
Eight crickets singing of night
Birds sleep in an oak

Abandoned Hall

Weather roughened brick and steel
Dusty jagged panes miss the rhyme
No one left to see or feel
Even bright stones fade in time

God bless,

Gilt

Hiding in the light
Just within the shadows
A little sallow plight
Slightly rotten meadows
Glint that fools the eye
Obsessing after gold
Hiding in a lie
Tastelessness unfold


God bless,

Give

Give a pint to an enemy
Give a pint to a friend
Share a pint with family
Let the Spirit rend

Giving  justice and mercy
Giving faith, love, and awe
Sharing grace with family
Rend stony hearts to thaw


God bless,

For the Hoard

Miserable are the hoarders
Of time, food, or self
For that is all they can think of
Lacking spiritual health

Angles

Mind full of angles instead of angels
Has dreams of bangles, noises and numbers
Loses reality for irrationality
Loses time for peaceful slumbers

Cloudy Dawn

Beautiful mornings of early walks
Even with few colors seen
Heaven's rays peeking through
Brightens eyes and keeps hearts keen

Fear of the Lord

The fear of weightlessness
Of disconnection and helplessness
Falling suddenly, entirely
To lose all sense of me
In the vastness of air, of sea
A fire burns in hopefulness
In joy and endless peace, free


God bless,
>P<

Assumption

Who knows the thoughts of the divine?
Who treasures some bread and a cup of wine?
And honor the simple chest where they laid
A heart uncorrupted, whose love didn't fade


God bless,

Patience

Like scabs, irritating, constantly felt
With a need to act, the cards are dealt
Distracted indifferent flames are fanned
The way to win is not to have played the hand


God bless,

Best

Best wishes and blessings
Best wine and wheat
Best adventures and glory
Best we should eat

Dusty and Empty

Where is my heart
In the trees, on golden domes?
Where does the search start
For the lost's homes?
What does pain impart
To the obsessive readers of tomes?


God bless,

Silly Walk, Peaceful Day

Mist mystifying misting missed
When clarity does not descend
Depths deeply delve deepening drive
Clouds just make an adventure end


God bless,

Subjective Interference

Molehills, blinding mountains
Keeping hearts disordered, snared
Let the light from Grace's fountain
Lay to the heart, reality bared


God bless,

God Days of Summer

Amazing clarity
In a simple phrase
Focus on living
In God's days

Crushed

Crushed resolve to abandon
All I see and all I stand in
Crushed soul again to widen sight
And make this world a hateful night
My vain attempts of blind wandering
Crushed. Remade into the Son's sterling


God bless,

Summer Park

Melody of the summer breeze
Harmony of maple trees
Under shade is a cool appease
Among verdant lively ease


God bless,
